Certifying Accountant Resignation
1) |
The Company received the notice that its public
accountant, Grant Thornton had resigned on April 26, 2006 in a letter dated April 25, 2006 that was emailed after business hours
on the 25th and also sent by mail and received on April 26, 2006. A copy of that letter and a Section 10A report that was sent
with the letter are attached as Exhibits 99.2 and 99.3. The Companys response to the 10A report is attached as Exhibit 99.4.

As disclosed in the 8-K filed on April 19 and 25,
2006, Grant Thornton did send the Company a letter stating that its opinions on the financial statements and internal audit
controls for the three years ended December 31, 2005 could no longer be relied upon. |

Other than the situation described in 2, above,
there have been no unresolved disagreements. The Accountant and the Company have been associated together for almost twenty years

As stated in paragraph 2, above, the accountant did issue a letter
advising the Company that its opinions on the financial statements for the three years ended December 31, 2005 and on the

10A report and the Companys response to that report which are attached hereto.

its disclosure and, if not, stating the respects in which it did not agree. That letter is to be filed in an amendment to the
original file. On May 11, 2006, the independent auditor did furnish the Company with its letter which is attached as Exhibit 99.6.
